The whole is the property of Robert Marsham, Esq., who resides at the HALL, . . . This manor has been held, since the time of Edward I., by the Marsham family; one of whom, Robert Marsham, Esq., F.R.S., who died in 1797, aged ninety, was a distinguished naturalist, . . . The Church (St. Margaret,) has a massive but short square tower, rebuilt in 1422, . . . has several handsome monuments, one of which has the recumbent effigy of a man in armour, supposed to represent the last Sir Ralph de Stratton; and on an altar-tomb of black marble, is the effigy of Thomas Marsham, . . . In a chapel, is an altar-tomb of black and white marble, with four effigies of Henry Marsham, (ob. 1692,) his wife, and his son and daughter. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £8.8s., was augmented in 1794, with £200 of Queen Anne's Bounty. Robert Marsham Esq., is the patron, and the Rev. Edward Marsham, of Sculthorpe, is the incumbent. The glebe is 32 acres, and the tithes have recently been commuted for £287 per annum.
